The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plywood and Composite
Products (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart DDDD) were proposed on January 9,
2003, promulgated on July 30, 2004, and most-recently amended on
October 29, 2007. These regulations apply to both new and existing
plywood and composite wood products (PCWP) facilities that are a
major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). A PCWP
manufacturing facility is a major source of HAP emissions either in
and of itself, or because it is located with other major sources of
HAP. Plywood and composite products include: plywood; veneer;
particleboard; oriented strand board; hardboard; fiberboard; medium
density fiberboard; laminated strand lumber; laminated veneer
lumber; wood I-joists; kiln-dried lumber; and glue-laminated beams.
New facilities include those that commenced construction, or
reconstruction after January 9, 2003. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD.
In general, all NESHAP require initial notification reports,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of
the affected facilities. Affected facilities are also required to
maintain records of the operation of an affected facility or any
period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. The
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to
NESHAP. The Plywood and Composite Products (PCWP) NESHAP currently
contains emissions limits (compliance options), operating
requirements, and work practices for PCWP facilities. Lumber
facilities that produce kiln-dried lumber and are major sources of
HAP are also subject to the NESHAP but have no requirements other
than submittal of an initial notification. The EPA is amending the
PCWP NESHAP as part of the residual risk and technology review
(RTR) required under Clean Air Act sections 112(f)(2) and
112(d)(6). The proposed amendments to the rule eliminate the
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM
plan requirement; add periodic emissions testing; add electronic
submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance
test reports; and make technical and editorial changes. The
remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged. This supporting
statement reflects the burden associated with the rule once it is
amended. The amended rule resulting from the RTR will not alter the
requirements for lumber facilities subject to the PCWP
NESHAP.
This ICR is prepared for
amendments to the PCWP NESHAP (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart DDDD).
These amendments: (1) adjust references to the Part 63 General
Provisions (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart A) and revise provisions in
the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) to remove the SSM
exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) add repeat emissions
testing; (3) add electronic submittal of selected notifications,
semiannual reports, and performance test reports; and (4) make
technical and editorial changes. Where applicable, adjustments for
these amendments are reflected in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR.
Additionally, number of affected mills increase since the previous
ICR renewal. Finally, the burden estimate for familiarizing with
regulatory requirements was increased to reflect the actual time it
would take industry to review the amended rule. Burden estimates
were added for the industry to prepare for/attend performance tests
and retests, report the results of the performance tests/retests
through CEDRI using the ERT, and adjust existing data acquisition
systems to include startup and shutdown periods and to transition
to submission of selected notifications and semiannual reports
through CEDRI. Burden estimates were removed for developing SSM
plans and submitting periodic SSM reports. In addition, the O&M
costs were updated (increased) to include the startup cost for the
initial and repeat performance tests, and to update the CMS costs
to 2018 dollars.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
